For three years as a live-in son-in-law, Lin Xiao has been the biggest joke in the city.
His mother-in-law calls him worthless, his brother-in-law mocks him for being broke, and his wife hands him divorce papers.
The pen hovers above the signature line. Three minutes remain until midnight.
From outside comes the sound of people kneeling in unison.
Twelve men in black call out together: "Dragon King."
No one knows that this man, ground into the mud, was once the youngest special operations commander-in-chief in the Southwest Theater Command.
Even fewer know that he has endured humiliation for three years, waiting for this very night.
The massacre of his family, the humiliation of having his wife taken from him: he will settle every score in Jiangcheng.
The day the Dragon King takes his rightful place will be the day the entire city kneels.
The opening scene is a famous scene, the birthday banquet is humiliated in public and it is unbearable to watch. The male protagonist has been dormant for three years, hiding his identity as the Dragon King and willing to be his son-in-law. He has been treated coldly but still values his love and righteousness. There is enough foreshadowing for depression, and the foreshadowing of returning to the main plot is already in place. We are waiting for the big boss to come out and slap all the snobs in the face. We look forward to the follow-up counterattack and Shuangwen plot!
